Rothstein: Marquette ‘emerging as landing spot’ for transfer Lockett
Strotty writes at Paint Touches:
"According to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein, Marquette has emerged as the front runner for Arizona State transfer Trent Lockett.
"Lockett, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, was granted his release from Arizona State last week. The junior is looking to transfer closer to his home in Golden Valley, Minn. to be closer to his sick mother, who was recently diagnosed with cancer."

Crowder, DJO on All-Big East Fear Monger Team
Johnson-Odom looks like Kanye West had a baby with a Costco tub of whey protein. Crowder looks like Predator had a baby with another Predator. Whatever the formula was, the outcome was fast-twitch muscle fiber. These guys are the reason that other guys want to take steroids.
Toward the end of my research, I stumbled upon a YouTube video of Jae Crowder talking about his biggest fear. While he goes on to mention failure as being the one, he first takes the time to talk about how everyone is afraid of him. Yes, that’s right. He already knows. Something tells me that D.J.O. knows as well.
Report: Crowder is Big East player of year
Adam Zagoria, a reporter for SNY.tv, Tweeted that league sources have told him that Jae Crowder will be named Big East player of the year. The official announcement is to be made Tuesday.
Buzz owes WVU fans no apology
Why should Williams have to apologize for three seconds of a dance that may have taunted the same rabid fans who had to be told to stop throwing things on the court during the game? If anything, he should've apologized for not taunting them more. If I were him, I would've grabbed my crotch and made a duck face at the crowd while I danced all over the midcourt logo. I would've walked to the announcers' table for a postgame interview and told Bill Raftery that "If the fans have a problem with what I just did, I've got two words for them." Then I would've dropped the mic, turned to the student section, and unleashed a ferocious "suck it" crotch chop. Sure, if Williams did this it probably would've gotten him killed, but at least it would've actually been worth the uproar that his three-second dance caused.
Novak Another Out-of-Nowhere Sensation
The Elias Sports Bureau says that since Novak has entered the N.B.A., a little more than 72 percent of his shots have been from 3-point range, the highest percentage of any player in the league over that period, based on a minimum of 500 total field-goal attempts.
Badgers' home court advantage partly due to strange balls
Wisconsin is the only program from the six major conferences that uses a Sterling basketball. When Bo Ryan was the coach at Division III Wisconsin-Platteville, Sterling provided him with camp basketballs. Since he took over as the Badgers’ coach in 2001, Ryan has stayed loyal to the company, based in Puyallup, Wash. Players and coaches from the Big Ten gripe about the Sterling basketballs, citing them as one of the challenges of playing at Kohl Center in Madison.
It is perhaps no coincidence, then, that the Badgers have a 91.7 winning percentage at Kohl Center under Ryan. For his part, Ryan dismissed the idea that the basketballs played a role in helping to build the impressive home record.
"I’m a Nike guy, so if there was a uniform ball, I’d want it to be Nike," Marquette Coach Buzz Williams said.
"That’s how my kids get Christmas presents, so, yeah, I want to use Nike."

DB - Anxious to Improve Under Martindale - Gray Caldwell
"I think we're going to be sound," Dumervil said. "I think he's a smart coach and I think he's going to create a lot of problems for opponents. I think he knows how to mix it up well. With his background of working with different guys that have been successful in this league, I'm excited. I think it's going to be a great deal for us, and I'm looking forward to working with him."
DPP - Broncos' Martindale, Ryan linked - Mike Klis
"I've been with the Ryans for about 12 years," Martindale said. "It's that type of mentality, get guys playing hard. Schematically, you don't tip what you're going to do. But mostly, I know our guys are going to play hard, and we're going to be fun to watch." "Wink's going to be great, no question," Rex Ryan said. "I told him he can finish second in the league."
DPP - Clady hears the criticism - Mike Klis
"As an offensive line, we were disappointed with how we played, especially in the second half of the season. I know we'll improve and be better next year."

PFR - HOF 2010: Floyd Little - Chase Stuart
Frankly, Stuart blows Little's candidacy out of the water here. I know there are a lot of emotions tied to the HOF for Broncos fans (including those of yours truly), but the arguments that Floyd was 7th all-time when he retired (#s 8 & 9 aren't in, either) and that he kept the Broncos in Denver aren't what make a HOFer. Now, I didn't see him play. If you watched him play and saw a HOFer, that's another thing...
DP - Warner a Hall of Famer only if T.D. is first - Mike Klis
Obviously I'd like for this to be the case, but I'd only point out that Warner had 6 excellent seasons, not 4. Personally, I think they should both be in - but Warner had the better career.

"He was a great linebackers coach," Dumervil said minutes after McDaniels called him to inform him of Martindale's promotion. "He taught me a lot. This will be a great opportunity for him to show what he can do. Having a guy from in-house as defensive coordinator is really beneficial. He may be my fifth coordinator as a Denver Bronco, but then again, he really isn't because he already knows our personnel."

Happy Friday, MHR Friends! I prefer not to link to something I see as pure rumor, so I will just mention that there is speculation on ESPN and Bleacher Report that Seattle inquired about Brandon Marshall's availability. Honestly, every team should make that call to at least find out what Denver is seeking as recompense. One can never have too much information...

Good Morning, MHR Friends. A day late with these sentiments, but our thoughts go out to all those touched by the horrific tragedy in Haiti. As for the links...if you woke up on the right side of the bed today and would like to maintain a sunny disposition, do not read Woody's column. It's one of the most toxic things I've read in the DP sports section. Guy's got a real axe to grind with Josh McDaniels, apparently.
PS. Please don't read Woodrow's column if you're planning on operating a vehicle shortly thereafter, either. It'd be a disservice to the general public if I didn't warn you...
